Retired General on How Russia-Ukraine War Could Become a Stalemate | WSJ

Ukraine’s military has liberated less than 0.37% of the territory that Russia occupied in June, despite breaches of Russian defenses near Robotyne. The counteroffensive up to this point has been disappointing for Kyiv and the West.

Retired Brigadier Gen. Mark Kimmitt and WSJ Ukraine correspondent James Marson explain Ukraine’s evolving counteroffensive military strategy and what could be next for Europe’s biggest land war since World War II.

[AKrn]

This is the first news I've hear on Ukraine in five days.

[PCHr]

it needs to be admitted that western politicians committed error in this military campaign by hesitating giving arms and jets to Ukraine. Various experts complaining of slow conuter-attack is shameful.

[johnmccain]

Can Mark tell us how should huge advancement be built without air superiority? Or without possibility to move theater of war onto enemy territory. It would be interesting to listen.

[MrJamespeyton]

The Ukrainians have done an incredible job with what they’ve been given.

[Mike_Genisys]

Who fault was it for not sending aid in sufficient quantity to prevent Russia from building up fortifications over the winter?

[isaiahxp]

Causally ignores that Ukraine has also launched attacks on civilian targets in Russia.

[maxbounce]

This general probably forgot how the US was attacking dual-use (aka civilian) targets in Serbia (among other places). Hypocrisy at its finest. And these guys have the gall to “call out” Russian propaganda… Fascinating.

[rogyn]

This so called "General" is a joke. Deployed in Kosovo? In that conflict all they done is providing weapons and logistics to Albanian rebels while dropping bombs on Serbian positions from the air (losing three airplanes crashed with old soviet systems) where for three months of campaign they hit more then 70% of civilian infrastructure missing their targets even in multiple cases hitting directly Albanian rebels by "mistake". If Milošević was not so stupid to accept UN resolution and instead of this continued the war US would be totally ashamed for their fail air involvement since most of the NATO members were already planning to revoke their support for that mission.

[jenskruse]

The west decided last year that Ukrainians should not succed.
We did have delivered to little and to slow.

[frankludovici]

Ukraine is NOT a NATO member as of now. Our Military Industrial Complex is the only reason we entered this war and that’s the reason our inflation rate is so high.

[GameCnt]

never listen to the U.S best propagandis NATO already lost their counteroffensive, russia is not the enemy here✌️

[jh]

Small mistake in this: your presenter said the Ukrainians used a Truck Bomb to target the Russian bridge to Crimea - that was a unsubstantiated Russian claim, and videos show the first attack was a drone boat.

[friedbacon-bj]

They're f*cked, stalemate means Russia has time to increase ammo production and take the rest of Ukraine, while the US is super angry that Ukraine hasn't won already and is done sending aid😂 Ukraine should negotiate while it still has some bullets left.

[TravnickaRobija]

Everyone would call it "cutting the land bridge."

[siriusmain]

Somebody tell that old man that Ukraine doesn't have navy nor air superiority and is conducting its operations with bare minimum

[KratosUmar]

thanks to wall street journal because Ukraine soldier's able to see the first defense line of Russia through your video on Youtube only.

[nicoh.]

Cool video format with the physical Map and longer form.

[soumitkumar]

Supplying limitless ammo to Ukraine while they made negligible progress, such a waste of taxpayers' money.

[neilnelson]

Russia has the right to defend itself. Ukraine needs to stop fighting Russians and seek peace.

[norgarzianni]

Is this a TOP US military officer, he speak like Mr. Rodgers?!?!?!? 😂😂😂 What happened with the greatest generation of US army generals like Patton or MacArthur?
